Ok. Listen carefully.

Take all the plugs out.

Turn the engine and watch the exhaust valve on No.6. As it just closes and you see the inlet valve just start to move, adjust both valves on No.1.

Here's the firing order. 15486372

Turn the motor and as you approach 90 degrees crank movement watch No.3 exhaust valve. As this closes and the inlet just starts to open adjust both valves on No.5.

Turn 90 and look at the firing order for the next valve to watch and which ones to adjust.

In this case the next ones would be watch 7 adjust 4.

I'll write it out..

Watch: 63721548
Adjust: 15486372

That's how I would do it. It's basically the in car version of the method in the video. You can see the valves from the tappet chest.
